I'm currently attempting to implement my Master's thesis -- a user interface design. I'm using SunView for the window management and SunCORE for the graphics toolkit (similar to MacDraw). I have two major and frustrating problems: 1. I cannot integrate SunCORE windows with the SunView windows -- CORE seems to overtake whatever C-shell the application is executed in. I have a Graphics window with buttons to draw boxes, lines, etc. but I cannot get the actual drawing/editing to be done in the SunView window. Has anyone been successful in combining the two? 2. While SunCORE output has been extremely easy (and even a bit fun), I have not been able to get mouse input to work at all. CORE does not seem to be grabbing any of my mouse's actions. The small hand pointer appears on the screen, but none of the input functions return any values other than NULL. What am I missing or doing wrong? Do you have any good references on CORE? Perhaps the most helpful thing would be some working CORE code that uses mouse input. Many thanks for any help you can provide ... it may me the difference between passing and failing my defense.
